Jeff, Stephen,
I accept your point, but you can't expect that sysadmins deal with this
situation, they never can tell if a validated action is wanted or
unwanted. And I wonder if you ever can do a restore of the RLS on
request of a user because of the above because of the reasons mentioned
before, the loss of changes between time of restore and time of backup.
